The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 643 Making a fool of oneself

This was something Li Yingcai hadn't expected. Why would Chen Er bring people here at this critical juncture? Could it be that he wanted to raid his home? But what right did Chen Er have?

One of Li Yingcai's friends stood up angrily and said, "Li Yingcai, you stay inside and let me have a go at Chen Er."

I had already disliked this guy during the morning court session, but with the Emperor backing him up, I didn't dare to do anything to Chen Er. But now it's different.

This adult also knows a little martial arts, so he wants to experience Chen Er's prowess firsthand.

Chen Er said coldly, "Li Yingcai, what exactly do you mean? Why do you have so many girls here? Do you want to set up a harem like the Emperor?"

Chen Er immediately slapped a huge accusation on him: what kind of status does a prince have, and he's not even in the same league as the emperor? How could he possibly have a harem? This is simply outrageous!

Li Yingcai immediately looked at Chen Er, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Chen Er, what brings you to my residence today? Are you here to cause me trouble?"

Li Yingcai asked this question on purpose. If Chen Er was there to cause trouble for him, then Li Yingcai wouldn't mind making Chen Er suffer.

After all, Chen Er was not his friend, but his enemy. When facing his enemy, the prince had to use tough measures to tell him what to do.

Knowing he wasn't someone to be trifled with, Chen Er immediately laughed when he saw the prince's expression.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? I am just an insignificant official. How could I be qualified to cause trouble for Your Highness?"

No sooner had Chen Er finished speaking than one of the prince's men said proudly.

"I like hearing what you said. Chen Er, I'm not trying to criticize you, but we are your seniors. This is not how you should act as an official. You will offend a lot of people if you do this, or you won't even know how you died in the end."

Clearly, this statement carries a threatening connotation.

Throughout his life, Chen Er was least afraid of being threatened by others, and his smile immediately vanished.

"How dare you speak like that? Don't think that just because you've become the prince's lackey, I won't dare to do anything to you. Drag him out."

Chen Er changed his demeanor, and two guards immediately came forward, scaring the guy half to death.

"Your Highness, save me! Has this guy gone mad?" The prince's eyes narrowed to slits.

Li Yingcai hadn't expected Chen Er to show him no respect whatsoever. After all, this was his territory, and even if Chen Er wanted to take action against his subordinates, it required his permission.

Chen Er didn't even ask for my opinion before trying to take action against my subordinates, which is something the prince absolutely cannot allow.

"Chen Er, please show some respect. This isn't the time for the morning court session; the Emperor isn't there to back you up. You need to know your place. This isn't a place for you to act recklessly."

Although the prince's voice was very calm, there was a dangerous undertone in his words. Chen Erwen chuckled strangely twice before speaking.

"Your Highness, your own hands are not clean, so don't speak up for your henchmen, or you'll regret it later." Chen Er's words made the prince frown.

"Chen Er, what exactly do you mean? Let's speak frankly. We're both officials of the imperial court now; we should be helping each other out."

The prince's words made Chen Er very unhappy. The prince had already made his stance clear: he would not let Chen Er off the hook no matter what.

Faced with those who wouldn't cooperate with him, Chen Er had no choice but to use tough measures to tell these scoundrels that if they acted impulsively again, the consequences would be very serious.

"Your Highness, I've come today to inquire about Huang Xiaolong's case. Could you explain it to me?" Chen Er said coldly.

Upon hearing Chen Er's words, the prince smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground. At the same time, many guards ran out from the backyard.

As an official of the imperial court, the prince had already been secretly cultivating his own power base.

The prince was afraid that one day the emperor would turn against him. In that case, he would at least have some prestige, and dealing with the emperor would require some brains.

Chen Er, I'm already annoyed by what you just said. Huang Xiaolong's case happened several years ago, and you still want me to overturn it? You have no right to do so.

After saying this, the prince changed the subject.

"Even the Emperor would show deference to you, let alone a lowly official like you. I advise you that those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Don't bring trouble upon yourself. I am not as easy to deal with as others."

The prince's words already carried a threatening tone, but Chen Er showed no fear whatsoever.

"Your Highness, do you know Huang Qiangwei? I have found this woman, and I heard that Huang Qiangwei used to be your concubine. Is that true?"

Chen Er's question made the prince's face turn very gloomy.

"What are you saying? As a prince, do you think I don't have women around me? Would I really lay a hand on an ordinary commoner? Besides, I don't even know who Huang Qiangwei is."

Now that the prince is denying everything, Chen Er clapped his hands, and Huang Qiangwei, protected by the guards, walked in.

"Your Highness, do you really not recognize me? I am Huang Xiaolong's own daughter. It was clearly you who murdered my father, yet you claimed that Wei Zhongxian forced me to submit and become your wife for a year. In the end, my innocence was lost, and you even gave me to Zhao Beixing. You are simply too vicious."

The moment the prince saw Huang Qiangwei, he immediately knew that today's problem was a bit too big.

However, since the emperor wasn't there, Chen Er, being a lowly official, had no way to do anything about himself, nor was he qualified to do anything to him. So, the prince at the time thought of this and stood up straight.

"Chen Er, what exactly do you mean? Let's speak frankly. Having one more friend in the court is always better than having one more enemy. Don't make things difficult for yourself."

Chen Er found a place and sat down. It turned out that the women wanted to leave, but they were surrounded by the Imperial Guards that Chen Er had brought.

“Tell me, did the prince force you to become his wives, or did you do it willingly?”

Some of these women come from impoverished families and aspire to rise in social status, so they are forced to take this step.

Some women only became the prince's wives because they needed something from him.
